The Department of Fine Arts and Architecture is an extensive education design that grounds students in the conceptual and technical understanding of art and architectural practice. The program is built for students who want to develop a strong foundation in design, visual expression, and spatial thinking. With a focus on both traditional and contemporary methods, the department supports students in developing technical skills, creative confidence, and a critical understanding of their craft.
Courses combine theory, studio work, and field exposure. Fine Arts students explore drawing, painting, sculpture, and digital media, while Architecture students work through the principles of planning, design, and structural thinking. This arrangement creates a learning environment that enables students to see form, function, and expression as intercalating domains, necessary in producing sustainable and meaningful designs.
